A federal judge has ordered Jack Swann, former environmental services director for Jefferson County, to report to prison on Sept. 13.

District Judge Scott Coogler today also re-sentenced Swann to a fine of $250,000. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had instructed the district court to re-sentence on the fine because reasons for the fine amount were not stated in the initial sentence.

Swann was sentenced to 8 and 1/2 years in prison after being convicted of taking bribes from engineers and contractors for using his influence in awarding contracts for the county's sewer system upgrade.
